Been thinking of 'em myself.

Extremely Theyre not as ''cool'' as Tein Super streets, but then theyre about £100 less and have the same adjustability. Theyre pretty good on the road, although even on their softest setting theyre still pretty stiff. On track, theyre awesome. My friend had them on his old Del Sol too, and he loved them. I definitely recommend them for road/track use.

Did you brought them from the states?
I actually bought them second hand (well, had cpvered 1000miles). But you can import them through C2Auto.

Take it easy mate, and ride on a wave of our jealousy (rich git)
Hah, thanks! If it makes you feel any better, not including the price of the car, Ive only spent £1400 on bits.

One thing though, that harness is dodgy as frick!
Im not so sure, it sits exactly where it should on my body, and is nice and tight. I did read from various sources that, so long as you had a cage, harnesses on stock seats were perfectly safe. If Im honest, I dont know enough about it to argue otherwise, but it feels very secure, and the Carbing harness bar is much sturdier than the seatbelt turrets. I have got a pair of fixed back buckets in the garage (got a pic of them test fitted somewhere...), but not sure Ill have the spare time to knock up some subframes before we go to Germany, so Im looking for a DC2 recaro seat that some MX5s got to put me on.

Found the pic:


After the seats, Ill be sorting out some tyres (Hankook RS2s), brakes/LSD from the 1.8L, some under-chassis braces, and then eventually a TD04 or T25 turbo. I really want to get stuck into my planned SR swap, but we need a flat...
